PORTABLE WATER-CLOSET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 269,246, dated December 19, 1882,

Application filed April 17, 1892. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE E. WARING, J r., of Newport, county of Newport, State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Portable ater-Closets; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention hasreference to an improved construction of water-closets whereby they shall be complete in all their parts, including supplyeistern or water-connection bowl, outlet, seat, and easing, ready to be set in place on being connected with the water-supply and soil pipe of the house, little or no work of the carpenter being required after leaving the factory.

Watenclosets as now constructed when intended forconnection with a soil-pipe or housedrain, are sold in separate parts, and much plumbing and carpentry work is necessary to tit them for use. This work, being done in detail and at a distance from the shop or factory, leads to a great increase of the cost of construction. The work is often done in a careless and unworkmanlike manner,the plumber usually depending on the hiding of his handiwork by the casing. in which it is inclcsed. It

under full exposure to the air.

is important that all water-closets should be so constructed thatthey are open to sight and to ventilation, in order that the accumulation of dirt and leakage may be detected and remedied, and that any inevitable decomposition of their leakage or overflow may take place This end is best accomplished by leaving the space under the seat and about the bowl of the closet uninclosed and omitting the cover over the hole, to provide only a properly-finished hard-wood seat, with hole, the same being hinged so that it can be turned back, allowing the bowl to be used as a urinal or slop-hopper.

In the drawings, Figure 1 shows the closet with its casing as it appears in perspective. Fig. 2 is a transverse section, showing the manner in which the closet, its water-supply, and its outlet are arranged in connection with the casing.

The same letters indicate the same parts in g the two drawings.

A is the bowl; B and C, the outlet; F, the supply -cistern; N, the pull up handle, by which the supply-cock is opened and closed to admit water to the cistern F. Q Q is the cover 5 of the casing, inclosing the supply-cistern F. P is the seat. J and J are the supports of the seat. J J J are thecasing around the bowl and water-supply, and I I I I I the surface, to be covered with tiles or other material.

In the form of closets shown the supplycistern F is placed at so low a level that it may be included in the portable water-closet as manufactured for sale; but I do not wish to confine myself to the particular kind of closet here shown for illustration, nor to the manner ofsupplying water shown in thedrawings. With closets of another form it will suffice to connect the supply-pipe directly with the bowl of the closet through its flushingrim or otherwise.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure byLe'tters Patent- As a new article of manufacture, a portable water-closet consisting of a bowl or hopper, a finished floor, seat, and easing, ready to be connected to the water-supply and waste pipes without the aid of a carpenter.
